New Planet Beer Competitors

New Belgium Brewing is a leading US premium adult beverage company, known for its iconic portfolio and Human Powered Business model. What started in a Fort Collins, CO basement in 1991, has grown into one of the most successful breweries in the country. Today, the business proudly brings brands to life like the innovative Voodoo Ranger IPA lineup, renowned Bell’s Two Hearted IPA and Oberon Ale, an award-winning wood cellar program, and innovation that pushes the category forward. At the center of everything is New Belgium’s Human Powered Business model. For more than three decades, we’ve led with the simple idea that people are at the heart of everything we do. Across all areas of our business, we consider the well-being of our coworkers, our customers, and our communities, and recognize the responsibility we all have to leave a lasting positive impact. This ethos has taken our company far. We expanded to Asheville, NC, in 2016, Daleville, VA, in 2023, and acquired Bell’s Brewery, in Kalamazoo, MI in 2021, and in 2025 took over the US production and distribution of Kirin Ichiban.

Founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner, we've come a long way since opening in San Diego County in 1996. Now the ninth-largest craft brewer in the U.S., we operate two production brewing facilities on both coasts, in Escondido, CA and Richmond, VA. Today, our beer is available in all 50 states and more than 40 different countries. But we don't just brew beer, we also take great pride serving it at our bistros and tap rooms! In addition, we also operate the largest craft-centric beer distribution business in the U.S, serving our home region of Southern California. It's been an incredible 25 years of following our passion. We can't wait to show you what we have in store for the next 25!

On December 2, 1987, brothers Russ and Jim Klisch opened Lakefront Brewery and sold their first batch of beer to a neighborhood tavern in Milwaukee. Now, we’re one of Wisconsin’s largest craft breweries and on pace to produce over 50,000 barrels in 2016. We currently offer more than 20 different beers with distribution in over 30 states, Australia, Canada, South Korea, and Ukraine. Our pioneering spirit has earned us numerous awards and created many industry firsts. Among these: Riverwest Stein winning Gold for American-Style Amber Lager at the 2016 L.A. International Beer Competition, the first certified organic beer (Organic E.S.B.), and the first gluten-free beer granted label approval by the U.S. Government (New Grist). Our tours are among the most popular in the U.S.; over 100,000 people tour the brewery each year. It’s one of the first—if not the first—to offer beer at the beginning, during, and after the tour instead of requiring guests to wait until the end. We're down-to-earth, hard-working and brewed in Milwaukee for people who like beer.
